Well, July has come and gone! It is always such a crazy month for us, with all 3 birthdays being in there and the 4th, and the 24th. It seems like it was one big party after another. I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked but here are some of the Birthday pictures that I did manage to either take, steal from other people who took pictures. (Note, these are NOT in chronological order)
My birthday was great! We just chilled at home and Westin made me and AWESOME balloon bouquet (see the oversized picture below)! The next day we headed down to the Smith's and partied there the whole weekend. It was lovely and a muchly appreciated break.
I don't know what happened but I can NOT get this picture any smaller! I almost didn't add it but I thought that this balloon bouquet was just WAY to cute, it needed to be showcased!
We didn't do much for Westin's birthday. He had school for most of the day but we had cake and ice cream after dinner and Joseanne came over and played with us for a while. The big exciting thing we did for his birthday was actually 2 days after when we went and saw Captain America. I am sure Westin will eventually blog about it, but it was AWESOME. (In my opinion). I did make Westin's birthday cake to look like Captain America's shield. I am in no way a cake decorator and it definitely turned out sub-par, but I still thought it was fun.

Brother Fife, Me, Serena and Westin. Right before digging in to the delicious Birthday cake!
My sad attempt at decorating a birthday cake... It did taste delicious though! And next year I will be that much better at decorating.... right....?
Serena's joint birthday party with her cousin Aiva was definitely the highlight of the month. They are 1 year and 8 days apart in age and they both LOVE Ponyo... You know the kids Japanimation movie. So that is the theme of their party.
Heather (Aiva's mom) made them both these adorable birthday hats.
Westin made this REALLY cool paper Machét Ponyo that we stuck out of their "birthday cake" (it was really a chocolate truffle in a green bucket with blue whip cream on top)... Isn't it sooo cute! I have such a talented husband!
The kids LOVE playing in the pools!

Getting excited to blow out her candles!

Looks like you have had lots of fun, and Westin is amazing!
Holy cow those are the cutest pictures EVER! Your cake is totally awesome! You did decorate it so good. And Westin's ponyo is awesome. But my favorite are the pictures of serena. She is my happy little thing!
too much fun. What a darling Serena and a talented Westin and Chelsea
You guys are too cute! Happy birthday to all three of you!
(P.S. Now that Serena is getting bigger I still see a lot of you in her, but I think she's taking more after Westin. Either way though she is stinking adorable!!!)
Love all the pictures! July was a fun month and such talent in your family!
1. That balloon boquet is awesome.

3. Zoe and Lincoln love, LOVE Ponyo. We may have to do an awesome Ponyo party like that.
4. I love the second to last picture of Serena. She is a cutie!
Chelsea how cute! Serena is getting so big!
I LOVE July Birthdays!!! It was so much fun to celebrate them with you all as much as possible :) You all definitely go all out a lot more than I ever would. But maybe we'll have to do a cake decorating class together - that would be an awesome Girl's Night thing to do - don't you think?
